I need to buy one of those white vans that contractors always use. You know the kind. Does anyone have any knowledge in this field? What should i look for? Ford? Chevy? Import?

I don't think there's such thing as an import in the same class as those big ole Domestic vans.

I say Chevy. We have an auto dealership over here that sells only those big white Chevy vans.

Also, is it better to buy new or used? If used, how old is the oldest recommended? We don't really have any money to spend right now, so we want to find a way to lease it with no payments for at least a year.

Look around in the local used vehicle guides... my dad bought a used van from Bell Canada. It was in excellent condition and he got it for a great price.... certainly better than the dozen or so privately sold vans he looked at.

Could you do me a favor and ask your dad for the contact? I could call up the person/company he bought it from and see if they got more. Thanks!
